Mark the equinox with an anthology of magical, inspiring, and cathartic poems! I'm so honored to share *three* new remedies in Elixir Verse Press's Arcana: Remedy for Indecision, Remedy for Powerlessness, and Remedy for Nightmares. www.elixirversepress.com/arcana
We've paired M. Bouchard's Skullcap w @apbrown.bsky.social's Remedy for a Manic Mind.
Small Remedies is a free downloadable PDF microchap: buff.ly/9FlWnFl.
Skullcap is said to calm nerves, relieve pain & help w menstrual issues. It was also known as Mad Dog since it was used to treat rabies!
@dehm000.bsky.social was so thoughtful in selecting the illustrations to pair with each poem in my micro-chap--I'm so grateful for how much care went into getting this little collection out into the world!
In selecting cover art for Small Remedies (engineidling.net/2025-micros), @apbrown.bsky.social introduced us to artist Maddalena Bouchard (1772 - 1793?). Shepherd's Purse was selected for the cover & to pair with the #poem Remedy for Birth Trauma. It's said to help w bleeding & menstrual disorders.
Hey that's me! What other remedies should I write? My current to do list includes: Indecision, Jealousy, Self Doubt, and Misophonia

Thank you! I’m so glad it’s resonating with folks 💚
The cover of my micro-chapbook is an illustration I discovered via @publicdomainrev.bsky.social and @wellcomecollection.bsky.social: etching & watercolor by M. Bouchard. My brilliant editor at @the-engine-idling.bsky.social paired my poems with bw versions for the interior.
Allison P. Brown's @apbrown.bsky.social defiance really captured me esp here in Remedy for Apathy.
